How do people from around the world view Pakistani Muslims?

[lastofthepatriots]

I am curious to see how people around the world view us. Only Pakistanis are banned from participating. I would love to see people add their insight. Again only Pakistanis are banned from this poll. Anyone else from any country or religion is encouraged to give their opinion.


Also, it is encouraged that people give their honest opinions.

A mix.

Above ankle pyjama bushy beard madrassa fanatics.

Clean shaven military and deep state educated fanatics.

Normal desis, educated, food loving, classy clothes, and good looking people. When not obsessed with India or religion.

Very pretty girls. Very well dressed.

Above average hockey players. Very average (the "mercurial" of old ...) cricket players.

Leagues ahead of Indians in terms of tolerance, class, and behavior, as well as language, when it comes to social media interactions and forums.

I am asking on an individual basis comprising of all the non-Pakistani members of this forum. The graph you have presented means nothing to me. I'd like to ask everyone on an individual basis. Among other things, the graph that you have presented does not answer the query of this thread. Thanks for your contribution and opinion, but I'd appreciate If you didn't try to cluster the answer I'm looking for in a nationalist mindset.

@Sinan @mohsen @ValerioAurelius @Sharif al-Hijaz @Chinese-Dragon

Please gentleman. Give your free and full opinions.

@Markus Even though you are a racist, I want you to be fully honest. I will not harass or bother you for your opinion, but please be truthful.

 

[G0dfather]

Atheist.

 

[Kedardel]

Too Religious.

hmm...that definitely wont be a accurate representation on the general population.



my view on the people
i view Pakistan as a Islamic country where the predominant Muslims put their Islamic values first and feel the need to upheld their culture even within their sects , they will naturally share a common bond with people of their own province , naturally majority put impotence province first before the country. i presume most people look down on non Abraham religions in a general sense.

the culture
Pakistan and India shares a deep bond, thousands of years of history, to me Pakistan is as alien as a Gujarat or a Assam , i personally feel the British shouldn't have split British-India. even if they did they shouldn't have let it at such broken bilateral state. just take a look at e.pak-india enclave map , it was a horrible idea.

my view on the crimes

poor governance, black economy and flimsy law enforcement has lead to rampant increase in crimes and corruption, drugs ,kidnapping,assassinations etc.. as a employable market, in rural areas do not give such opportunists so they pick up arms and join extremist and other factions

my views on government

its pretty straightforward view all the governments of Pakistan as a hostile,ineffective ,paranoid and lapdogs of their military, the military holds key power in critical bilaterally issue. a government within a government...

.....lets just say i've nothing decent to say about the pak military and its past government.

My view of Pakistani society is that they are overwhelmingly conservative with a fair bit (a large minority) of religious fanatics. There are of course liberal/moderate muslims, non religious or atheist folk etc too but those guys are a smallish minority when looked at overall.

The sunni community, that is, not including shiites/ahmadiya here.

 

[lastofthepatriots]

How else do you guys feel?

Seems that a good number of Indians have offered their personal opinions. I would like to see more people give their opinions.

 

[padamchen]

Just saw Mardan University Video, a guy was being killed by many and whole lot of students watched. No one protested. Every society has fringe elements but this was just inhuman. Gods justice will come, it takes time but sure it indeed will.
The reports say he was propagating Ahmadi faith online.
Be that as it may normal people committing murders is what image of Pakistan I have.

How different was the above to an old man being beaten to death was having beef in his home?

How different was the above to a young boy being beaten to death for loving a Hindu girl?

World=/ only India

Brother I can't vote on any of the options you provided and that's because:

- The post-colonial Muslim world in general is filled with ignorant Muslims who do NOT know much about their religion but then again there are ulemas, daees and religious Muslims who do know a lot about their religion. SO we can't conflate both groups and judge.

- Subcontinent (india, PAk and BD) specially has ignorant muslims who are yet to give up many anti-islamic cultural practices & beliefs and that would need education.

- nation-states are NOT homogeneous entities. So its extremely unjustified to stereotype.

And more importantly bro, why use western terms to describe Muslims? There is only one Islam and people who submit to the will of Allah (swt) are Muslims. There is no such thing as liberal Islam or conservative islam. And when you say conservative - what do you mean? conservative relative to what? These terms are western coined since Islam as it is, is unpalatable to western liberal secular taste and so they want to mold Muslim to their expectation by labeling Muslims based on their criterias and values. A muslim can NOT be liberal or cultural. And if he/she follows fundementals of Islam then he/she is NOT a conservative but simply muslim..... or you can add prefix such as informed, knowledgeable, practicing muslim.

Please do not take my post as rude or condescending. I wrote the post with good intention to share my views with a fellow brother in faith.
